OVERVIEW

STATUS INDICATORS

Processor

Red.

Blinks when VIA is powered up and processor is function-

ing

POE Status

Red.

Off: 48VDC input not present

(required voltage for PoE support). Blinking: 48VDC

input present, but not conﬁgured.

Steady: Functioning normally.

Identify

Blue.

Blinks when identify is active.

Fiber//Link

Activity

Amber.

Functional on VIA5F model only. Blinks when SFF module

has valid connected to another device.

The VIA5 and VIA5F gigabit Ethernet switch is

a DIN-mountable, managed switch suitable for

use in entertainment lighting, audio and video

distributions systems. Ideal for use in NEMA

enclosures and as a Power-over-Ethernet

source for connected equipment, such as DXT

DMX/Ether-net gateways, Fresco Show DTP

lighting consoles and Fresco Show WM archi-

tectural controllers.

The VIA5 and VIA5F models feature terminal strips that can

be removed from the card to facilitate easy wiring for power.

Power

The VIA5 and VIA5F are designed to run on a 100W, 48VDC

power supply to ensure the availability of Class 3 PoE on

each of the RJ45 Ethernet ports.

Observe polarity when connecting V+ and V-. A second set

of terminals are provided so power may be daisy-chained to

other VIA5 switches or other Pathport DIN-mountable nodes.

Do not connect 48VDC to DXT inter-face cards that do not sup-

port 48V. The EARTH GROUND terminal must be connected

to the enclosure’s chassis or electrical ground terminal to

ensure EMC compliance.

Ethernet

All network wiring should follow standard Ethernet rules

and be installed by a qualiﬁed person. As part of the instal-

lation, all wiring should be certiﬁed under the TIA/ EIA-568

standard.

Acuity recommends the use of manufactured rather than

hand-terminated cables. We also recommend terminating

building wire to a female RJ45 cage, and using a male to

male jumper to connect the wiring to the switch.

Disconnect all power before proceeding with installation.

Securely mount DIN rail (if not already installed in the

en-closure). Hook the upper slots on the back of the plastic

extrusion to the DIN rail and then gently but ﬁrmly press on

the bottom front corners of the extrusion to snap the module

onto the rail. Do NOT press directly on the PCB card itself.

Connect the power terminal block, after checking that polar-

ity is being observed. The VIA5 will boot up, which may take

15-20 seconds.

Attach required network cables to the RJ45 ports. Connect

the ﬁber module, if used.

The system is now ready for conﬁguration and testing.

Intermittent blinking indicates valid link to other device.

POE Status

Green.

Steady indicates PoE in use. Blinking indicates insuf-

ﬁcient PoE available to power end device.

FURTHER CONFIGURATION

All ﬁeld conﬁguration of the VIA5 models must be done with

DXT Solution Manager software.

Download the software from www.acuitycontrols.com and

install.

Set computer’s IP to a static address in the 10.x.x.x range,

with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and default gate-way of

10.0.0.1. No conﬁguration of the computer’s DNS settings

should be required. Plug into the VIA5 switch and launch the

conﬁguration software. Discovery will be automatic.

Refer to software documentation for description of conﬁgura-

tion options
